Sure enough, Yongle blushed when she heard her words. She asked, her face red, "Can you ask Xie Liwei to get me some? You two don't need it right now anyway."

Song Yaozhu said indifferently, "Do you think he's such a kind person? He doesn't need it, so why would you?"

Yongle remained silent after hearing this. Xie Liwei was the kind of guy who would tear someone else's umbrella even if he got soaked in the rain himself.

"Okay, then I'll find someone else to finish their work." Yongle pouted.

As the two were talking, the shopkeeper had already sent in a sample garment for Yongle to try on.

Yongle was too lazy to do it himself, so he had a maid with a similar build to himself dress up for her.

It must be said that, as expected of the most skilled embroidery workshop in the capital, the clothes produced are simply exquisite.

After looking at several garments, Yongle hesitated, unsure which one to choose.

"This one with tassels is so pretty, this one with bluebird patterns is so pretty, and this one too, it's all hand-polished and strung rubies!"

Every wedding dress that was shown to Yongle was praised by her, and she wished she could wear all of them.

“You only like the features of these wedding dresses, so why don’t you order a wedding dress that combines all these features?” Song Yaozhu suggested, despite her bad idea.

Yongle wasn't stupid; he naturally knew that combining all these characteristics into one garment would result in something incongruous and out of place.

"Hmph! You're just kidding me! Without me, who else would you play like this for!"

Song Yaozhu laughed heartily and reached out to pinch her chubby cheeks.

"It's unbelievable, in the blink of an eye, you're getting married."

In her memory, Yongle was still a little boy who climbed onto the roof and removed tiles.

Yongle raised his hand to brush away her hand that was pinching his face, and grinned at her.

"She's clearly younger than me, so why does she always act like an elder to me?" She pouted, saying this, but she still liked Song Yaozhu's maturity and composure, which made her feel very safe.

"Have you prepared my dowry yet?" Yongle leaned closer, her expression ingratiating. "Auntie~"

She clung to Song Yaozhu's arm and said coquettishly, thinking to herself that Xie Liwei probably didn't have much money, so for Song Yaozhu's sake, she would ask for less!

"How about I get you a set of phoenix and red luan flower headdresses that you liked at the Treasure Pavilion before?"

Yongle immediately screamed, "Song Yaozhu, I love you so much!!!"

This jewelry costs tens of thousands of taels of silver. Even if she were a princess, she wouldn't dare to buy such an expensive piece of jewelry when the country is in crisis.

As the two were talking, Granny Feng walked in with a grim expression, followed by the maid who had just tried on the clothes.

"What's wrong?"

The maid rolled up her sleeves, revealing that her arms were covered in a dense rash.

"Someone is trying to harm the princess! Some medicinal powder was found on the sample wedding dresses, which can cause skin redness, swelling, and ulceration!"

Upon hearing this, Yongle immediately slammed her hand on the table and declared, "Take down the entire Zhiji staff for this princess!"

She had barely finished speaking when Song Yaozhu grabbed her hand.

Song Yaozhu shook her head at her and said, "Weaving Shop is a business, it's impossible for them to do such a thing. If word gets out, who would dare to buy their clothes?"

Yongle was still furious. "Then who do you think the murderer is?"

This guy just wants her to ruin her body at this time so she can't get married!

Who wouldn't want her to get married?

Could he be an admirer of Shen Qingque?

Yongle's mind raced, wondering how someone with Shen Qingque's face could have admirers? How could any woman fall for a man more handsome than herself?

"Have someone ask the people in the textile shop to see who has handled these sample garments."

The shopkeeper immediately compiled a list of families who had tried on wedding dress samples and also summoned the people responsible for storing the clothes.

"Your Highness, Princess Consort, our sample garments are always starched and washed before being displayed after someone has tried them on. These people have handled the sample garments today."

Looking around, Song Yaozhu saw that none of the old women washing clothes or storing them seemed to be the problem.

Song Yaozhu lowered her eyes and said, "Report it to the authorities."

The shopkeeper of Zhiji immediately became anxious.

"Your Highness, we can't report this! How about we settle this privately? How about we make the princess's wedding dress for free?"

"Ha! Who knows if your clothes might be laced with poison and kill this princess!"

The manager of the weaving shop was almost in tears and immediately went to find his boss.

Soon the head of the household arrived. She was an elderly lady, and perhaps because she had done a lot of needlework when she was young, she squinted when she looked at people, as if she couldn't see them clearly.

"Let's report this to the authorities. In this kind of matter, we need the government to clear our names. It's not enough for us to just say we're innocent."

Seeing that the head of the household had spoken, the manager of the weaving shop immediately went to report to the authorities.

Soon the government officials arrived, asked some questions, and then left with the sample garment.

Soon, news of the problems with Zhiji Clothing spread throughout the capital. In an instant, Zhiji's business plummeted, and customers who had previously ordered clothes came to get their deposits back.

After a long day of running around, they returned to the Prince's Mansion, where Granny Qin immediately summoned the royal physician to take Song Yaozhu's pulse.

"My goodness, who knows what's in the powder on those clothes! Your Highness, we should probably stay home more often!"

Song Yaozhu teased her, "Granny, how can you give up eating because of a minor setback?"

Granny Qin knew she couldn't show her anxiety, as it would affect the princess's mood, but she just couldn't control herself.

"Alright, Granny, you should go and rest now. I'll accompany the Princess when she goes out from now on," Xie Liwei reassured her.

Granny Qin retreated with worry, wondering if she was getting old and that was why she was like this.

"Who do you think will target Yongle?"

Xie Liwei didn't think for long before saying, "It might be the Cui family."

The Cui family was the target of Yuwen Wuji's purge. Because the Crown Prince knew the Emperor's attitude, he dealt with the Cui family very ruthlessly. All the big and small things the Cui family had done in Qinghe over the past ten years were brought up, and various crimes were accumulated, resulting in the Cui family being sentenced to exile.

“Exiling the entire clan, Yuwen Tong really is…” Song Yaozhu pondered for a moment before saying, “He has no brains.”

The power of an entire family is terrifying, let alone a powerful clan like the Cui family.

Once they reach their place of exile, it's only a matter of time before they can regroup and rebuild their strength.

Xie Liwei replied nonchalantly, "If that person decides to dig the canal, do you think those prisoners in jail can escape?"

Song Yaozhu looked at him with an incredulous expression and kicked him in the thigh.

"How could you be so mean?" she said coquettishly, as if she had just realized, "So this is the kind of person you are."

Xie Liwei grabbed her ankle and warned, "Sister, don't try to seduce me."

"You're so easy to seduce!" she said sheepishly, pulling her foot away from his palm.
